Maybe I need to not use the various packing sacks these things came with and improvise the packing a little more.
That and I suppose loading up the front end is a good thing.
It helps to spread it out a bit. I use a Eureka Zeus Classic 2 man cuz I like a bit more wiggle room. Here's a pic of the tent strapped to the bars of my Raleigh Superbe (yes, I S24O on that, too).
I have an old Cannondale handlebar bag support 'neath the tent to hold things up.
